I've been dreaming of my FF Quarterback for weeks. Last night we finally did it LOL. Feels like I've been courting him all this time!

I was watching the Eagles/Saints game with some friends last night. After a fumble, one of the guys shouted, "This guy is the turnover king!"

My response? "Ooooooh, turnovers!"

There was a volleyball night at one of our local gyms. It's competitive, not outrageous or anything, but people know what they are doing and there are some heavy hitters there.

There was a woman there, 34-weeks pregnant, who the gym allowed in. Now I understand that volleyball isn't football or rugby, but you can easily knock into other people in the middle of a play or make incidental contact, lots of times which ends up with someone falling over.

I don't want to be responsible for some woman's miscarriage on the damn volleyball court, so I refused to play with or against her. This was easier in the beginning when there were a lot of people, but it got called out near the middle when the numbers made it obvious something was up so I explained my hesitation.

The woman immediately got super heated, went and got the guy running the night, I was asked to leave, and was actually called an asshole by the pregnant lady who said she had a right to be out there also.

Edit/Clarification:

Instead of responding over and over to people claiming that volleyball is not a contact sport, I just wanted to put it up here. Again, no it isn't football, but you do regularly come into aggressive contact with other players, especially in these open gym scenarios where semi-competent athletes have varying degrees of body awareness and control. No, you shouldn't be colliding every play, but running into your teammate is not by any means uncommon.

Edit 2:

This seemed to have blown up over night. Allow me to clarify a few things.

1. To the armchair psychologists trying desperately to use the word "allow" as some sort of gotcha statement that reveals my deep-seated misogyny and desire to control women's bodies: get a grip.

2. Miscarriage was the wrong word considering how far along she is in pregnancy. I learned something new today about terminology, so thank you to those who pointed it out.

3. "iT's BeTwEeN hEr AnD hEr DoCtOr" There are certain common sense things that don't take a medical degree to know is a bad idea when heavily pregnant. Even if I was a doctor, you all would say "but you're not HER doctor", and if I was her doctor, you'd say "she knows her body better than you anyway!" As we can see with these comments, turns out a lot of people don't know shit about volleyball, gyms, or physical exercise in general. Shocking on Reddit, I know.

4. Speaking of medical resources, I am still waiting for someone to provide one that says that contact sports in the third

I [27m] am confused about my feelings for my deceased wife’s cousin [20f]

My wife Julie and I were together for a total of 6 years. We met in college and things were always great. I loved her very much and she loved me. We got married and I took a position in the “big city” in the state we are from. She found a job helping to run a daycare and was thrilled. She loved children and everything that came with the job. It was her true calling and she was thrilled to have the opportunity. She was beautiful both inside and out and was the only girlfriend I have ever had. A little over a year ago, she was involved in a car wreck with a drunk driver and was killed. I was devastated, her family was devastated, my family was devastated it was just a terrible time in my life. We had just bought a house together and I was all alone.

Around the time we moved, her younger cousin started college in that same city where we lived. My wife and her cousin Cassie were very close and she was one of the bridesmaids at our wedding. I have always enjoyed her company as well. I met her when she was I think 16 and I was about 22 or 23. We instantly clicked like we were old friends. I don’t know if that says more about me and my maturity at the time, but we have always gotten along great. Over the years, Cassie would visit us; we’d all hang out and have a blast. In those visits, my wife would make jokes about how similar Cassie and I were. We shared the same sense of humor, shared the same interests, and watched the same shows. My wife even made jokes about how if she died, I should start dating Cassie. She wasn’t serious, and it was funny because, hell, I’m 7 years older than her and I truly loved my wife.

After my wife passed away, I started hanging out with Cassie a lot more because she was the only “family” I had near me at the time. We grieved together and our friendship has grown so much over this past year. She is always welcome in my house (she has a key) and we have been able to support one another emotionally. We were there for each other with my wife’s death and I was there when she broke up with her boyfriend. She has really become my best friend in this time, and I hers.

About a month ago, I got a call from Cassie asking if I could p

My (25F) father married my step-sister's (23F) mother when I was 4 and she was 3. We've lived together most of our lives and are a family. She and I were extremely close.

She developed cancer when she was 14 and was sick for about 2 years. She's since made a full recovery. During that time, my parents became understandably over-protective. They also asked a lot of me. I quit my extracurriculars so I could get a job (the money went towards her medical bills) and so I could drive her to appointments. I didn't go to dances and any fun activities I did needed to include her. I did almost all of this willingly, the exception being having to quit my high school volleyball team

• I did throw a bit of a tantrum about that, but was swiftly punished. And I think having one emotional breakdown was pretty chill given the circumstances. Anyhow, I go to college and meet my ex, we'll call him Ben, when I'm a junior. We fall in love, blah blah blah. He and I move in together when we graduate, so we've been living together for about 3 years. We were serious until July when I walked into my bedroom and saw him fucking my sister.

I broke it off, tears were shed, he moved out, etc. My sister apologized at first but then backed off. I thought she was giving me space but last week she called and asked if we could meet up. She told me that she and Ben were in love and were just telling me as a courtesy before they started posting photos online. Distraught, I left her in the restaurant by herself and did not pay my portion of the bill. She later venmo'ed me asking for the money. She told my parents who then called me to their house, telling me how disappointed in me they are for not supporting my sister's relationship with Ben. They brought up the fact that because she had cancer as a teenager, she never learned proper social etiquette, and has a hard time meeting people. I don't buy this, in part because I've seen her socialize just fine and since we spent a good chunk of the time she was sick together, that would also mean that I should have bad social skills as well, by that logic. They then told me that if I don't accept my sister and Ben's relationship, they may have to go no contact with me. I reminded them that I'm also their daughter and they should understand my poi

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

TW: Sexual Assault, Rape, Sexual Violence

Three years ago we had a post by a now-deleted user that we deemed so good we added it to our sidebar. Since we lost it when the author deleted their account, this is my attempt to recreate it while editing minor things for clarity, plus adding a section on race that was left as a comment on the original post.

Fact Checking False Rape Accusations and Why We Shouldn't Fear a False Rape Epidemic.

One of the main points of resistance to changes in how police and society handle rape, sexual assault and even sexual harassment is the counter argument that men then would be plagued by false rape accusations. The fear is that we crossed some line that no longer allows reasonable doubt and that a man can be sent to jail by one accusation. We of course have seen stories of such things in the news, and every time we question whether these are isolated stories or a sign of a larger epidemic we don't get to see. When does the drive of combating rape go too far? Is it something to fear?

So how common is this issue? Is it really a threat to men? How many false rape accusations are there?

How Many False Rape Accusations Are There?

Most experts agree that false rape accusations make the total of 2-10% of the total accusations of rape. As quoted from the handbook:

>A multi-site study of eight U.S. communities including 2,059 cases of sexual assault found a 7.1% of false reports (Lonsway, Archambault, & Lisak, 2009).

Link to it here:

>A study of 136 sexual assault cases in Boston from 1998-2007 found a 5.9% of false reports (Lisak et al., 2010).
>
>Using qualitative and quantitative analysis, researchers studied 812 reports of sexual assault from 2000-2003 and found a 2.1% of false reports (Heenan & Murray 2006).

And why not add some more papers to the mix.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

I won't be doing that today!

First and foremost- except for criminal acts resulting in pregnancy.

So my wife and I are happily childfree. Don’t get me wrong, we don’t hate kids we just don’t want to have to deal with them/one 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, for the next 30 years. We thoroughly enjoy our time together and the freedoms that no children allow.

Now that that’s out of the way. We have neighbors who we get along with VERY well. Dinners, xmas, fishing, cookouts, etc. who are older than us. These neighbors have grandkids and we’ve taken a particular shining to one. I absolutely adore the boy. We play football, nerf guns, color, he likes to “workout” when he finds me in the garage gym, race motorized cars, etc. Hes said multiple times, I wish I could live here.

This poor boy, 6, lost his dad to the Purdue disease, if you know you know, a few years ago. Since then his mom has remarried and her new hubs brought his own kid to the marriage. They’ve since created another one together who is the shining star of the herd.

The kid spends every weekend at grandparents houses sleeping over. This past Sunday he was supposed to go home at 12:00 but mom texted grandparents and asked them to keep him until 5:00 bc she “didn’t want to deal with him.”

TDLR: Kids are a choice and if you choose you better make the time for them. They don’t deserve to be cast aside bc you “don’t want to deal with them.”

You take away their little brooms

To make a long story short, my [26F] break-up last summer with EX1 [26M] was volcanic. He's now expecting a baby with my step-sister within the next six weeks or so. Since I found out about the pregnancy, he's tried to get in touch with me six times through email/text/burner accounts, has tried to get mutual friends to talk to me for him, and showed up to my place once. The latter was the only time I humored him. He told me he was sorry, he loves me, he doesn't want to be with my stepsister and wants to get back together with me. I told him tough titties. He made his bed and now he's got to lay in it with her.

I haven't dated much since July because of my life's implosion, but in November a friend from college messaged me out of the blue. We hadn't talked in a long time. He [27M, referred to as EX2 for the rest of the post] and EX1 were good friends but had a falling out over something fantasy football-related the year after we graduated and I stopped talking to him out of solidarity, or whatever.

Anyhow, we go on a date. We click. We go on a few more dates. We become exclusive in early December. I was feeling really hopeful about this until this morning.

I was supposed to meet EX2 at a new year's party last night. He got there before I left the house and texted me saying that EX1 was at the party and asked whether I still wanted to come. I declined and went to another friend's house and have a pretty good time. I tried calling EX2 at midnight but he didn't pick up, I didn't think much about it.

Anyhow, I go to bed late and when I wake up this morning, I have a message from EX2 saying we're done. I couldn't even respond because he'd blocked me everywhere. I talked to a friend who was at the party the EXes were at last night and he said the two of them had spent a good chunk of time chatting with each other but he didn't know what they were talking about. I'm not close with anyone else who was at the party so I don't really have anyone else to ask.

Like okay, it was a two-month-old relationship. I'm sad but I'm not bereft. But the paranoid part of my mind is really concerned that EX1 said something that resulted in EX2 becoming EX2. EX2 has made it abundantly apparent that he doesn't want to talk to me again and I don't want to push that boundary. But I'm so confused. I could contact EX1 but I get the feeling that will open a floodgate of drama. I could also try talking to other mutual friends to see if they've heard anything but I also don't r
